It's up to me, Jane

Jane Eyre’s protagonist is referred to as “plain-faced,” intelligent, and passionate, refusing to allow elements of her life to keep her from freedom and love. The classic novel by Charlotte Bronte published in 1847 celebrates Jane’s indomitable strength. Miss Bronte named her heroine “Jane” to encourage and celebrate such spirit.

She is keeping me from sleep, though. Since 1815, six generations suggest there’s more to Jane than plainness. “Gift from God” in Hebrew, the name honors the women who possessed courage, strength, and giftedness.

Each story begs to be shared which is up to me, Jane.
